{"product_id":"rspb-easy-clean-squirrel-buster","title":"RSPB Easy Clean Squirrel Buster","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe RSPB Easy Clean Squirrel Buster does everything the classic Squirrel Buster does. It keeps squirrels out and lets little birds feed in peace, but it has one genuinely useful upgrade: it's far easier to clean. And if you're feeding year-round (especially through summer), a feeder that you'll find easy to clean regularly is a feeder that keeps your birds safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike the classic, it uses the same patented weight-activated mechanism: small birds feed freely, but the moment a squirrel, a pigeon, a crow, a magpie or a jackdaw lands, the feeding ports close. No access, no wasted seed. The feeder also includes the Squirrel Buster's built-in ventilation system, which allows air to circulate through the seed tube so food stays fresh and free-flowing rather than clumping in summer heat and humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key difference is in how it comes apart. Where the classic requires a little more patience (and a screwdriver) to dismantle, the Easy Clean RSPB Squirrel Buster is designed to pull apart by hand quickly and intuitively, making it much more practical to keep on top of fortnightly cleaning. Given that dirty feeders are one of the most common ways disease spreads between garden birds, that really does matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt holds 1.2 litres of seed and has four feeding ports, making it a good size for a busy garden without being unwieldy. It's endorsed by the RSPB and comes with a lifetime guarantee from the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you already have the classic Squirrel Buster and love it, this is the version to buy for simple summer feeding. If you're new to the Squirrel Buster family, this is a great place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy we think you'll love it\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquirrel-proof, pigeon-deterring, and resistant to crows, magpies and jackdaws thanks to the weight-activated mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasier to disassemble and clean than the classic version, with no tools needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVentilation system keeps seed fresh in warm weather, making it ideal for summer feeding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour feeding ports and a generous 1.2 litre capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChew-proof metal components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSPB endorsed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime manufacturer's guarantee (register online)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eEight ways this feeder is designed with bird health in mind\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWherever birds gather to feed, there's a risk of disease passing between them.

If a squirrel can brace itself on a nearby fence, branch, wall or another feeder and reach across, it can access the seed without putting its full weight on the feeder itself, which means the mechanism won't trigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHang it in open space, away from anything a squirrel could use as a launching pad. This is the single most common reason the feeder doesn't perform as expected, and the easiest fix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Little Bird Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56938874503546,"sku":"20-BF-RSPBSB","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/1827\/8046\/files\/rspb-easy-clean-squirrel-buster-squirrel-on-top-ports-closed.png?v=1780396486","url":"https:\/\/alittlebirdcompany.co.uk\/products\/rspb-easy-clean-squirrel-buster","provider":"A Little Bird Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
